#
# Anti-Automation rules to detect Denial of Service attacks.
#
# Description of mechanics:
# When a request hits a non-static resource (TX:STATIC_EXTENSIONS), then a counter for the IP
# address is being raised (IP:DOS_COUNTER). If the counter (IP:DOS_COUNTER) hits a limit
# (TX:DOS_COUNTER_THRESHOLD), then a burst is identified (IP:DOS_BURST_COUNTER) and the
# counter (IP:DOS_COUNTER) is reset. The burst counter expires within a timeout period
# (TX:DOS_BURST_TIME_SLICE).
# If the burst counter (IP:DOS_BURST_COUNTER) is greater equal 2, then the blocking flag
# is being set (IP:DOS_BLOCK). The blocking flag (IP:DOS_BLOCK) expires within a timeout
# period (TX:DOS_BLOCK_TIMEOUT). All this counting happens in phase 5.
# There is a stricter sibling to this rule (912170) in paranoia level 2, where the
# burst counter check (IP:DOS_BURST_COUNTER) hits at greater equal 1.
#
# The blocking is done in phase 1: When the blocking flag is encountered (IP:DOS_BLOCK),
# then the request is dropped without sending a response. If this happens, then a
# counter is # raised (IP:DOS_BLOCK_COUNTER).
# When an IP address is blocked for the first time, then the blocking is reported in a
# message and a flag (IP:DOS_BLOCK_FLAG) is set. This flag expires in 60 seconds.
# When an IP address is blocked and the flag (IP:DOS_BLOCK_FLAG) is set, then the
# blocking is not being reported (to prevent a flood of alerts). When the flag
# (IP:DOS_BLOCK_FLAG) has expired and a new request is being blocked, then the
# counter (IP:DOS_BLOCK_COUNTER) is being reset to 0 and the block is being treated
# as the first block (-> alert).
# In order to be able to display the counter (IP:DOS_BLOCK_COUNTER) and resetting
# it at the same time, we copy the counter (IP:DOS_BLOCK_COUNTER) into a different
# variable (TX:DOS_BLOCK_COUNTER), which is then displayed in turn.
#
# Variables:
# IP:DOS_BLOCK Flag if an IP address should be blocked
# IP:DOS_BLOCK_COUNTER Counter of blocked requests
# IP:DOS_BLOCK_FLAG Flag keeping track of alert. Flag expires after 60 seconds.
# IP:DOS_BURST_COUNTER Burst counter
# IP:DOS_COUNTER Request counter (static resources are ignored)
# TX:DOS_BLOCK_COUNTER Copy of IP:DOS_BLOCK_COUNTER (needed for display reasons)
# TX:DOS_BLOCK_TIMEOUT Period in seconds a blocked IP will be blocked
# TX:DOS_COUNTER_THRESHOLD Limit of requests, where a burst is identified
# TX:DOS_BURST_TIME_SLICE Period in seconds when we will forget a burst
# TX:STATIC_EXTENSIONS Paths which can be ignored with regards to DoS
#
# As a precondition for these rules, please set the following three variables:
# - TX:DOS_BLOCK_TIMEOUT
# - TX:DOS_COUNTER_THRESHOLD
# - TX:DOS_BURST_TIME_SLICE
#
# And make sure that TX:STATIC_EXTENSIONS is also set.
#

# Skip if variables defining DoS protection are not set
